At White Plains Honda, we make the inspection process quick, easy, and transparent for drivers from White Plains, Yonkers, Scarsdale, and beyond.
What Is a NYS Vehicle Inspection?
Every vehicle registered in New York must pass a yearly inspection at a licensed facility like White Plains Honda. The inspection is divided into two main parts: a safety inspection and an emissions inspection. These evaluations help ensure your vehicle is safe to drive and meets environmental regulations.
The safety check includes essential systems like:
- Brakes
- Tires and wheels
- Steering and suspension
- Lights and turn signals
- Mirrors, seat belts, and windshield wipers
The emissions portion helps protect New York’s air quality by monitoring your vehicle’s exhaust system and onboard diagnostics. If your check engine light is on, there’s a chance your vehicle won’t pass, so it’s smart to address those issues early.
